A Lawsuit for a Judgship.

FoRT WAYNE, Feb. 14-One of the sur
prises of the last general election in this
couDty;was the defeat of Hon. Samuel NJ.
Hench, candidate for re election on the
Democratic ticket to the position of Judge OF
the Superior Court OF Allen County, by Hon
Augustus A. Chaplin, a Republican. who is
now serving as Judge of that court The
circumstance of a Republican polling more
votes for a judicial position than the regular
Democratic candidate led 10 a surmise in
certain quarters that the Board of Can
vasSeTs was in error, bat, on q recount OF the
ballots, il was shown that Judge Chapin's
vote exceeded the vote cast for Judge Hench
by fifty-six. Accordingly Judge Chaplin was
granted a commission by Governor Gray on
the 18th day of Novamber last, and on the
Goth day of the same month he entereaHpou
his duties, which he has since discharged.
On Saturday evening last Judge Hench Gre
ated considerable sensation by filing in the
Allen Circuit Court petition, claiming that
he is entitled to two years more of service on
the bench, and averring that Judge Chaplin
has usurped the functions of the Office and
should, in justice, be turned out. The COM
plant, which is a long one, bears the sig
nature OF S. X. Alden, Walpole G. Colerick
Coler1ck ,S Oppenheim, attorneys for the re-
lator. The point raised by Judge Hench Is
briefly that Hon. James l.. Worden was
elected Judge of the Superior Court of Allen
County in 1882, and entered upon the duties
of the office on the 18th day of November OF
the same year, and held such Of
fee until June q 1884, when he died /;
that subsequent to the death of Judge Wor-
den, and more than twenty days prior to the
general election held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of November 1884,
the Clerk of the Allen Circuit Court certified
to the Sheriff what officers were TO be elected
at such general election, designating among
others "a Judge of the Superior Court of
Allen County, that the relator, Judge
Hench, received majority of 8, FOG votes in
an aggregate of 13, Sl4, and that, after the
Board of Canvassers had certified his cleo
ton, the Governor, on the 10Th day OF No
vember, 1884, commissioned him as Judge of
the Superior Court of Allen County for four
years thereafter, and until his successor
should be elected and qualified; that he took
the oath of Office and entered upon the
performance of its duties on the 18th day Of
November, 1884 and continue to perform the
duties of the office until the 26th day of No
vember, 1856, when, as the conn plant alleges,
Judge Chaplin intruded himself into said
Office and usurped the same, all Of which un-
lawful atcs being done under the pretense
that Judge Hench was only entitled, under
his election in November 1884, to hold Office
for the remainder of the term for which Hon.
James i. WOrden hss been elected in Novem.
ber 1882. The case viii be argued next week
before Hon. Edward o. Rourke, Judge of the
Allen Circuit Court, and his decision will be
awaited with much interest.

What Friend of the President Says.


Special to the sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE resignation of
Jameson, Superintendent of the Mails has
more significance than usual. IL is prob
ably the beginning of many important
changes. In addition to this it is reliably
reported that Mr.. Adee, one of the Assistant
Secretaries of State, Republican, will soon
walk the plank. The following interview
with a very intimate friend of the President
by the Sentinel commissioner will be read
with interest in this connection:
"Is there any doubt that the President is a
candidate for second term?'
"Yes. do not believe that the President
has finally made up his mind 10 be candi.
date for reelection. There are some OBJ
structions in his way that he knows will
have to be removed before be can make a
successful candidate. The question with
him is whether he can very well afford to re-
move these distractions"
What can thev be?' / queried.
80, well, don't like to say. 1 should
think you would know what they are as we'll
as anyone else. OF course the President is
well aware that he has not given entire sat
isfsction to many men Ia his party. But, at
the same time he claims that he has carried
on the policy of the Administration in direct
and full accordance with the principles of
the party, reiterated at the three last Ma
tiOnal Conventions. He said to me, a few
weeks ago, that he did not believe that
any of the conventions meant what
they said in their platforms. For said he,
the more | try to conform to the principles
of the platform of my party the more of
fen'e / seem to give. / am sorry that men
like Mr.. Watterson are so dissatisfied, but l
feel certain that in less than three months
Mr. Wattersons and all gentlemen who en-
ter ain views in harmony with HIM will be
much better pleased with the Administra-
ton than they are now. You Will see some
things. young man, that will make great
deal Of difference in your feelings and I
must confess that i believe it will give
greater satisfaction to the masses of the
partyn

minutes later he was out Of sight and has
not been seen by q white man since. The

ordered him to leave under penalty OF a

ment it has ever been my lot to witness.
The walls had been white originally,
suppose, but as ! glanced at them they
seemed to have been transformed into a
dirty yellow. The sheets of the bed were
turned down, and they exhibited the
same discoloration. The windows had
spots of yellow on them, and the wash
stand and dressing case were similarly
blotched. I turned to Field wonderingly.
He was looking very sober, even sad. Il
